Malabrigo Yarns kettle dyed and handpainted yarns are made by a small, family-owned company in Uruguay. They work with a womans cooperative to create wonderfully organic looking, funky and beautiful yarns. This is one of our favorites: Gruesa - a thick and thin super-bulky yarn in amazing colors. Great for knitting up a fast hat or a great, fun, bulky sweater, this yarn is also a great felting yarn.
